Up to 25% of chronically infected patients eventually Hdevelop cirrhosis and related complications, including hepatocellular carcinoma.1 Chronic liver disease secondary to HCV thus remains the leading indication for liver transplantation in the United States.2 The goal of HCV treatment is to eradicate the virus and pre- vent the development of cirrhosis and its complications. Successful treatment of HCV has been defined in terms of sustained virologic response (SVR), which is the absence of detectable levels of viral RNA in the blood 24 weeks after completion of therapy. Currently, the standard treatment approach for HCV includes 24–48 weeks of treatment with pegylated interferon α (pegIFNα) in combination with ribavirin (RBV).3 These drugs act on a variety of nonspecific pathways that affect the immune response to infection. The best treatment response is seen in patients with genotypes 2 and 3 HCV, Keywords in whom SVR rates of approximately 80% can be achieved with 24 4 Hepatitis C virus, direct-acting antiviral agents, weeks of therapy. Patients with genotype 1 HCV remain the most specifically targeted antiviral therapy, sustained difficult to treat, with SVR rates of approximately 40% after 48 virologic response, telaprevir, boceprevir weeks of therapy.5 In addition to being ineffective in some patients, 154 Gastroenterology & Hepatology Volume 7, Issue 3 March 2011 D I r e c t - A c t I n G A n t ivi r A l M e di c A t I o n s f o r H c V Figure 1.

  • HCV Protease
    HCV Protease HCV NS3-4A serine protease is a complex composed of NS3 and its cofactor NS4A. It harbours serine protease as well as NTPase/RNA helicase activities and is essential for viral polyprotein processing, RNA replication and virion formation. The HCV NS3/4A protease efficiently cleaves and inactivates two important signaling molecules in the sensory pathways that react to HCV pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to induce interferons (IFNs), i.e., mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) and Toll-IL-1 receptor domain-containing adaptor inducing IFN-β (TRIF). HCV infection is associated with chronic liver disease, including hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The NS3-4A serine protease of HCV has been one of the most attractive targets for developing specific antiviral agents against HCV. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 HCV Protease Inhibitors & Antagonists ACH-806 Asunaprevir (GS9132) Cat.

  • Curing Hepatitis C" by Gregory T
    6 ThE FUTURE of HCV TREATMENT Beyond Triple Therapy I am still on treatment and almost halfway through the trial. I do not have hepatitis C at the present time. I hope this treatment has cured it, and I hope I will not need future treatment. The results were immediate. Before I began the QUAD Therapy clinical trial, there were over four million copies of the virus per milliliter of my blood. After the first week, that was down to only 160 copies per milliliter, and, at week two, I tested negative for hepatitis C. The virus is still undetectable in my blood—hopefully, this is it, and I am cured. — Mark Tw e n ty year s ago, I treated patients with HCV genotype 1 infection with interferon monotherapy, and five percent achieved SVR. Results improved to an SVR of 45 percent with peginterferon/ribavirin. Now, the new standard of care of triple therapy is expected to raise SVR up to 75 percent. What’s next? In this chapter, I look to the future, focusing on the next generation of direct-acting antivirals: new protease inhibitors, polymerase inhibitors, From "Curing Hepatitis C" by Gregory T. Everson Reprinted with permission— 115 by Hatherleigh— Press ISBN: 978-1-57826-425-4 Available wherever books are sold 116 CUR in G H E PA titis C NS5A inhibitors, and others. The future for treating HCV is, indeed, bright. Hopefully, the time will soon arrive when nearly every person infected with HCV will have safe, tolerable, and effective options for treatment. The year 2011 marked the beginning of a new era in the treatment of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) with the introduction of telaprevir and boceprevir.

This highly pathogenic virus has to date caused >71 million infections and >1.6 million deaths in >180 countries. Several vaccines and drugs are being studied as possible treatment or prophylactics of this viral infection. M3CLpro (coronavirus main cysteine protease) is a promising drug target as it has a significant role in viral replication. Here we use the X-ray crystal structure of M3CLpro in complex with Boceprevir to study the dynamic changes of the protease upon ligand binding. The binding free energy was calculated for water molecules at different locations of the binding site, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out for the M3CLpro/Boceprevir complex, to thoroughly understand the chemical environment of the binding site.
